お久しぶり!
Its been awhile since my last post, so long that I don't even remember when it was or what it was about! This post is going to be mainly about housemanship - HO, in short. In Malaysia, its compulsory to undergo these 2 years of Housemanship (HOship) where you will be placed in 6 different departments (4 months each - minimum). I'm currently posted in Orthopedics. The other departments available are Medical, Surgery, Obstetrics&Gynaecology, Paediatrics and Accident&Emergency. You will only be posted at A&E after your 4th posting... ^^
I'm quite lucky to be posted in Malacca, since the hospital staff are so kind to organize for us an orientation program. All in, we have to be given briefing about the Pathology Department, Infection Control, Imaging & Diagnostics, Pharmaceutical Department, Forensics and also Archiving Departments. So that effectively lets me start "working" on the 2nd of November. My colleagues were not so lucky, some of them are starting this Thursday! It'll be tough, going for orientation and then continuing on with the tagging!
There's a lot of things you'll need for your first day to lapor diri. A LOT. You'll need to fill in a shit load of forms - no kidding. Make sure you get pictures (6 at least). Photocopy your diploma, MMC letter and IC in multiples. I'm talking like 7-8 copies! Anyway the hospital will give you a checklist of what is necessary for you to photocopy and all. But the KWSP (EPF), go do your account earlier if you have the chance. Its annoying to leave and go do the account, come back, etc.
Okay, that's enough rambling for today. I"m so tired!!
